Suddenly I lost my conciseness in the freezing water. My body slowly going down until I felt a pair of muscular arms grab me.
When I opened my eyes I was in an unfamiliar place. I had blankets on me yet still shivered. I heard foot steps and looked up to see a boy walk up to me.
"Where am I?" I asked recognizing the boy,my hand on my temple due to the headache.
"This is my house. I found you drowning and saved you." Alex explained.
I nodded my head as he talked. "Thank you, I'm sorry for all the trouble I've caused you." I replied looking down, embarrassed.
"No worries." He smiled at me.
"Well I should leave." I said getting up.
"No, no, no! You need to rest." He exclaimed, helping me lay back down.
"Charlie would be worried." I blurted out.
"Charlie? Charlie as in Charlie Swan?" He asked.
I nodded my head. "I'm sure your parents know him?" I questioned.
"Of course. Small town, plus my parents are doctors at the hospital." He explained. Suddenly a woman in her mid 40's entered the room and smiled at me.
"You must be Zara. I'm Jessica, Alex's mom." She said as she walked over to me with a plate of food.
"Yes, I'm Zara Solace. Nice to meet you." I smiled.
"Nice to meet you too, I brought you some food. I hope you like Korean food." She smiled back politely as she gestured the soup.
"Ah yes, of course. This is sam gae tang right?" I asked.
"Yes, you got it." She giggled as she put the tray in front of me.
After calling Charlie and letting him know I was fine and with Alex and his family, he seemed to be relieved. Alex and I chatted for a bit before he dropped me off where my car was. I was very grateful he didn't ask me why I jumped or what I was doing there. I drove home in complete silence without playing any music. The roads were dark, making me enjoy the ride home since driving at night was one of my favorite things ever. It was so comforting and like a therapy. Plus it was an amazing time for me to rethink my entire life and existence.
When I entered my room, I felt someone's presence for a weird reason. "Who's there?" I asked, feeling delusional but I couldn't help it. I heard a chuckle and suddenly a boy with red eyes appeared in front of me.
"What are you doing here? Who are you?" I asked trying sound as calm and collected as possible.
The man just continued chuckling before he finally began speaking. "Aren't you the Cullens' little friend?" He asked, his hand on my cheek, studying my face. I quickly removed his hand from my face and he let go of my face with a smirk. Just when I was about to take a deep breath, feeling relaxed that he let go of my face. Suddenly he grabbed my neck, my back hit the wall. I was gasping for air.
"How do you know them?" I asked, hardly speaking as I was trying to breathe.
"Ah- they didn't tell you. Well let me explain as best as I can. They left you here in Forks to save their dear Bella." He said with a fake pout and let go of my neck.
"W-what are you talking about?" I asked my voice shaking, I grabbed my neck trying to take deep breaths.
"I'm saying they're using you, sweetie." He smirked.
I couldn't help but feel my heart shutter at his words. "Who are you?" I asked, my voice shaky.
"I'm Riley." The boy with red eyes answered before leaving from my window in milliseconds.
I was shaking in fear and I quickly reached for my phone and dialed Alice's number with shaky hands.
"The number you have dialed is currently not-"
I hung up and threw my phone on my bed. I fell on the floor, hugging my knees as I tired taking deep breathes to calm myself down but I couldn't breathe. It felt as if the air was stuck on my throat. I realized I was having a panic attack and looked around for some water.
My heart was beating so fast, my chest rising and falling quickly. I grabbed the bottle of water from my nightstand and began drinking it.
After some time, I calmed down. I was about to enter the shower until I saw the bruises and hand marks on my neck. My reflection in the mirror saddening me even more. After a long, steaming shower, I went to bed with fear filling me. I kept turning around, trying to fall asleep. All of a sudden a loud sob escaped my lips. My eyes filled with tears that I had tried to keep locked up for a long time. Although I had cried this afternoon, it wasn't enough.
Today couldn't get any worse. I thought to myself as I sniffed, I was feeling like shit. I had way too many questions in my head yet none of the Cullens would answer my calls. Suddenly an idea to call Bella popped up in my head. Although I didn't want to call her she was my only option if I wanted some answers— which I very much did.
I turned on my night lamp and grabbed my phone. I took a deep breath trying to encourage myself. I dialed Bella's number. I was about to hang up until I heard Bella speak.
"Yes Zara?" She answered, her voice sounded impatient.
"I was wond-"I got cut off by a familiar voice that came from the other side of the line. Though it wasn't close I could still hear it.
"Bella where are you, come on." The familiar voice said in a flirtatious manner. My throat suddenly felt dry as the words wouldn't come out. I had recognized the voice. It belonged to the boy I had fallen in love with. The boy who had hurt me so awfully, so terribly, so dreadfully , so greatly and so deeply.
Edward Cullen.
